Hey all! It’s a very sleepy edition of Get Rec’d, as in I’m very sleepy while writing this list. For those who don’t know, I talk about books a lot in my daily life outside of SBTB. I work at a bookstore and give professional book recs through Book Riot’s TBR subscription. I personally love playing book matchmaker, and I love it when people give me recs as well! Get any good recommendations lately? Tell … Continue reading Get Rec’d with Amanda – Volume 23
RECOMMENDED: That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon by Kimberly Lemming is 99c at Amazon! Carrie recently reviewed this one and gave it a B:
This book was perfect entertainment for my stressed out brain, and I was definitely rooting for those two wacky kids to have their HEA.
This month’s Kickass Women takes us to the silver boom town of Potosí, located in what is now Bolivia, in the 1600s. This city was riddled by crime, but two teenage girls, Ana Lezama de Urinza and Eustaquia de Sonza, took it on the task of cleaning it up. At the time, Potosí was adjacent to a massive silver mining operation owned and run by the Spanish colonizers. Most of the silver was sent by … Continue reading Kickass Women in History: The Valiant Ladies of Potosí
It’s that time of the month! No, not that time. Whatcha Reading time! Sarah: I’m currently reading Thank you For Listening by Julia Whelan – and I’m doing an interview with her for the podcast, too! Shana: I’m reading The Servant and the Gentleman by Annabelle Greene. It’s a good reminder of why I like to give new-to-me authors a second chance. Because I hated the first book in the series and I love this one. Claudia: … Continue reading Whatcha Reading? August 2022, Part One
Love at First by Kate Clayborn is $2.99! Clayborn is an autobuy author for some of the Bitchery. Catherine gave this one a B:
Love at First is a beautiful book and worth the painful beginnings – but if you’re feeling fragile, too, maybe proceed with caution.
When I saw the half-naked men in promos for gay rom-com Fire Island, I erroneously assumed it was a reality dating show. That placed Fire Island in my mental queue just after finishing Love is Blind Brazil. Meaning moderately high, but not at the top of my To Watch list. But then Sarah told me it was actually a reinterpretation of Pride and Prejudice about a group of friends who vacation stay with their lesbian … Continue reading Movie Review: Fire Island

Grab a beverage and come visit with us! What about you? What books have rocked your … Continue reading 523. Summer Reading (and Shoe) Recs with Amanda
Book Boyfriend by Kris Ripper is $2.99! This is a bookish, gay contemporary romance. Ripper’s books have been routinely recommending in the comments and by Tara. However, this one isn’t rated as highly as some of Ripper’s others on Goodreads.
This Rec League comes from Catherine: Saw the trailer Lost City of D and so excited for an adventure rom-com. It looks awesome! Curious if there are any comedy-adventure-romance books out there people would recommend? Amanda: We did a similar Rec League back in 2014, but maybe there’s something new since then! Sarah: Roxanne St. Claire’s FBI/Bullet Catchers after often big on the world travel/adventure aspects. The Last Mile by Kat Martin seems to fit … Continue reading The Rec League: More Action Adventure Romance
Hey hey! It’s Wednesday! I’m currently listening to a chunky fly buzz around my room, while my cat Linus does not give two single fucks about it. The heat is about to break in New England (yay!) and just in time for me to attend an Emo Night concert. Gonna bust out the spiked jewelry and band t-shirts and I’m really excited. Sometimes, your girl just has to dance. I’m sure some of you get … Continue reading Links: Paddington, Beyonce, & More
